Throughout the 1980s, Baldwin was in an on-again, off-again relationship with fellow actress, Holly Gagnier, and had a relationship with Janine Turner. Around this time, Baldwin was linked to actresses like Ally Sheedy, Cheri Oteri, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Lori Loughlin, to name a few (via Who's Dated Who). It seemed like the playboy wasn't settling down anytime soon. That is, until he met Kim Basinger.

The pair got together at the beginning of the 1990s, and they seemed like a match made in heaven. They wed in 1993 and two years later had a daughter, named Ireland. But as time went on, Basinger admitted that his anger was a bit much at times (via Closer Weekly). 

In an interview with Ladies Home Journal in 1998 (via Her Moments), she talked about the real Alec Baldwin saying, "I live with a very passionate, verbal, vocal man, who doesn't keep any thought to himself." She continued, saying, "He has the biggest heart of anybody I've ever met. But at the same time, he's a black Irish Catholic with a temper." The couple split in December of 2000, and, once again, Baldwin was back in the dating game, starting with dating "Sex and the City" actress Kristin Davis and an attorney (via Ranker).
